RCIA for Adults and ChildrenThe RCIA for Adults "Journey in Faith" is a process of sacramental formation for those who are interested in becoming Roman Catholic. Sessions begin formally in September, the sacraments of initiation are celebrated at the Easter Vigil and ongoing faith formation continues through Pentecost.
For more information contact: Kathleen Garast 480 483-3803 [email protected] The RCIA for Children is for students ages 7 and above who have not been baptized. Sessions begin in September and are held on Sunday mornings. Children receive their sacraments at the Easter Vigil along with the adults. Contact the Family Catechesis office for more information. First Communion and ConfirmationStudents in the third grade who have completed First Reconciliation can enroll to prepare for these two sacraments.
The Diocese of Phoenix celebrates the Restored Order of the Sacraments of Initiation, therefore students will receive confirmation prior to First Communion. See the First Communion/Confirmation tab for more information. |
